2005-10-18[PATCH] b44: alternate allocation option for DMA descriptorsJohn W. Linville
This is a (final?) hack to support the odd DMA allocation requirements of the b44 hardware. The b44 hardware has a 30-bit DMA mask. On x86, anything less than a 32-bit DMA mask forces allocations into the 16MB GFP_DMA range. The memory there is somewhat limited, often resulting in an inability to initialize the b44 driver. This hack uses streaming DMA allocation APIs in order to provide an alternative in case the GFP_DMA allocation fails. It is somewhat ugly, but not much worse than the similar existing hacks to support SKB allocations in the same driver. FWIW, I have received positive feedback on this from several Fedora users.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
